America, America by Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and Souther-Hillman-Furay Band

lyrics

AMERICA - AMERICA


My heart’s breakin’, watching the world turn upside down
Seein’ our Nation - hurtin’ in the grasp, while burning to the ground
Though history sure has warned us, when you take your eyes off God
There ain’t nothing to fall back on though, some would say that’s odd

Time makes you wonder, is there a point of no return
Have we crossed that line forever; what lessons have we learned
Is there hope still in the future, is there hope beyond all hope,
Well I know there is an answer, but we’re goin’ down a slippery slope

America, America, God shed Your grace, please do!
Wake up, Wake up, our sleeping soul, Save us from The Bells That Toll


Yes, my heart’s breakin’, is it that hard to understand
Which way, what direction – which way to the Promised Land
Is the road straight and narrow, or is Broadway the avenue
You know the road is marked quite clearly and both simply can’t be true ….

So I wait; watch and I wonder, holding on while I pray
Knowing what’s to come - will be a telling, and a fateful day
‘Cause what lies in the future, is in store for everyone
That’s why I put my hope in Jesus, even so, Lord please come
America, America, God shed Your grace, please do!
Wake up, Wake up, our sleeping soul, save us from The Bells That Toll
America, America, God shed Your grace, please do!
Wake up; Wake up our sleeping soul, before we hear The Bells That Toll
